Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from contaminants. For non-porous surfaces like uPVC or certain metals, ensure appropriate pre-treatment if recommended.

Streaky or uneven finish

Ensure the paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply in consistent strokes, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Consider using a brush or roller appropriate for matte finishes. Ensure the surface is not absorbing paint too quickly.

Colour not as expected

Colours can appear different under various lighting conditions. Apply a sample patch in the intended location to check the final appearance. Ensure two coats are applied for full colour depth.

Difficulty cleaning marks

Allow the paint to cure fully before attempting heavy cleaning. Use a damp cloth with mild soap and water, and avoid abrasive cleaners or tools that could damage the matte finish.
